Liu Tang gave chase and with the help of a group of patrolling soldiers, he finally caught the masked man.
When I took off the scarf, I was shocked.
The masked man turned out to be Liu Songhe's husband Luo Yang.
Everyone thought he was dead, and as soon as the news spread, the mountain felt like it was exploding.
Liu Ang gathered his soldiers to kill the culprit of all the disasters in front of the ancestral hall.
Luo Yang did not make any noise or shout, lowered his head, waiting for death.
However, at the moment when the knife was raised and the knife fell, another Liu Songhe, who was thought to be dead, appeared to save him.
Oh my god! What's going on?
"Dad, you have decided to accept the recruitment anyway, why not let Brother Yang go? Everything he did was out of necessity."
In order to make the child live a better life, Luo Yang secretly sent him down the mountain for foster care. He was afraid that this incident would shake Liu Jiajun's military morale, so he lied and claimed that he had lost the child in gambling, and he had no choice but to cut off one of his fingers.
Luo Yang felt lonely and had nowhere to vent, so he became addicted to gambling, became a real gambler, and was targeted by Tan Gong.
Tan Gong took advantage of Luo Yang and threatened him with Luo Xingyue, his and Liu Songhe's daughter.
"You are really good at editing it!" Liu Tang intercepted Liu Songhe and handed the letter found in Liu Tang's house to his great-grandfather Liu Ang. "It clearly states the details of the conspiracy between Tan Gong and Luo Yang."
Luo Yang confessed, "This letter was written to me by Tan Gong, and I was the one who facilitated the connection between the fourth sister and him, but I did not encourage her to kill anyone, and I don't know how many contacts they had in private and what they negotiated."
.”
On the night of the third day of the first lunar month a year ago, he sent Tan Gong and others down the mountain and went to the town to gamble. When he came back, he happened to find Liu Songhe and others being surrounded and killed.
"That night, I learned from my fourth sister that Brother Yang had borrowed a road from a group of unknown people, so I led my cronies down the mountain to intercept them, and accidentally killed a group of thieves from Tongchishan Mountain in Mengqiao Station. However,
On the way back to the mountain, I encountered an ambush. All the elites I brought with me were killed or injured. Only I escaped by jumping into a grass cage in the deep stream under the protection of Brother Yang."
Afterwards, Liu Songhe learned from Luo Yang that the ambush might have been set by someone sent by Liu Songju, the fourth sister.
So he and he found two people of similar stature, changed clothes and disguised themselves.
Then hide nearby to find out the truth.
Unexpectedly, it was actually Liu Songju who did it.
"Although Brother Yang lost the dagger when he rescued me, I still had the dagger, so I got away with it by luck. We wanted to rescue Xingyue and take her home, but we didn't expect"
Liu Songhe's tears fell to the ground and she was choked and speechless.
"That family was unwilling to return the child to us. It turned out that Xingyue had been sold by them a long time ago. This was all retribution! For more than a year, we searched everywhere for the child and found out that she had been sold to Goulan Yard for three months.
Thousand taels of ransom money. I have no choice but to come back and steal the bank notes hidden in the plywood."
"Dad, please spare Brother Yang. Apart from excessive gambling, he has never done anything harmful to the world in recent years!"
"I lured the wolf into the house. Everything was caused by me. I die without any regrets. I just hope you can let Tang'er take out the banknotes and let Songhe rescue Xingyue."
Luo Yang spoke sincerely, with tears in his eyes, and his love for his daughter was beyond words.
"It's sad that I only have all my fists and feet, but I can't save my daughter. Dad, I beg you to show your kindness. As long as Xingyue can be saved, I am willing to pay with my life together with Brother Yang!"
Liu Songhe cried so sadly that it was very touching.
But, is what the couple said true?
After all, Liu Songju was dead, and they couldn't arrest Tan Gong to testify.
On the contrary, the letters found in Luo Yang's house were written clearly and truly.
Moreover, the drastic change that night caused the death of five members of the Liu family, and almost ruined the only incense inheritance.
Qianru estimated that Liu Ang would kill Luo Yang, and if he didn't give him the money, Liu Songhe would probably seek death as well.
So, she bravely stepped forward and asked An Tai whether he was alive or dead.
"I don't know what Censor Antai is. I only vaguely remember that there was only one living person in the inn at that time, and that was the young man with the spear. I also asked people to use his gun to disguise themselves, so that the government thought everyone was a
He killed it."
"Who are you An Tai?"
Luo Yang seemed to know something.
"He is my father."
"That night I quietly opened the earthen wall behind the inn and rescued him."
She was afraid that this was a lie made up by Luo Yang in order to survive, so she tried: "You said you saved my father, what does he look like? Is there anything on him that proves his identity?"
"A tall and thin man with snow-like temples and a string of small bells on his body. He is calm and very shrewd in times of danger. When I rescued him, I killed a thief, so he took out the small bell from his arms and stuffed it into the man's arms.
He also set the fire."
The man Luo Yang described was very similar in appearance and temperament to An Tai. Qianru was so happy that she rushed forward to ask, "Did he tell you what his plans were?"
"I promised An Tai not to tell, and I was supposed to keep it secret. But it's been more than a year, and he hasn't come home yet. It's probably because something happened. I'm going to die now. Telling you, it can be regarded as a blessing for Xingyue."
"As long as you have good intentions, you will definitely be able to accumulate blessings for your daughter."
"He said that Anjia's only way to survive is to investigate further and let the evildoers face retribution."
These words seemed to come from An Tai's mouth, and Qianru believed them.
At the same time, Liu Ang also believed that Luo Yang had a good heart and that it was his adopted daughter's lack of education that caused the disaster.
So, he asked Liu Tang to return the banknote to Luo Yang.
Liu Tang, however, only paid back 3,500 taels.
But, is this much money really enough?
Qianru had been in that business and knew that people were there to serve food. Luo Yang and his wife were in rags, and they only had three thousand taels. When they really offered so much money, they might even ask for thirty thousand taels.
In order to repay Luo Yang for saving An Tai's life, Qianru thought about it and had no choice but to push Shangguan Yuan out as a favor.
Shangguan Yuan has been gone for several days and should be back soon. Then the couple will go together to help Luo Yang save his daughter.
"Miss An, Luo has accepted your wish, but we haven't found Xingyue yet. We just heard that the redemption price of the Goulan Courtyard in Jiangnan is at least three thousand taels."
"If we knew where it was, Brother Yang and I would have tried our best to rob him. After more than a year of setbacks, we only found superficial clues, and there was no place for heroes."
"In this case, you should wait until the recruitment is completed before leaving. Assuming that you can get an official position, wouldn't your daughter have more hope of escaping from the misery?"
Luo Yang looked up at Liu Ang and saw that he had no objection, so he nodded helplessly.
At the same time, Sun Lue, the emperor's eldest son after retiring from the imperial court, was discussing with King Gui, King Luo, Rongguo Gong Xu Huaishan, Prime Minister Yi Zhonglun, and several other relevant ministers in the Qinzheng Hall about recruiting Liu's army.
Although everyone had different opinions, surprisingly, King Gui and King Luo, who had always been very different, were unanimously opposed to the recruitment.
The reason is that out of the Liu family's fifteen tigers, only Liu Ang, who is over eighty years old, is left, and the mountains are full of old, weak and remnant soldiers, so there is nothing to fear, so it is better to destroy them.
